    Love the foot mechanics with the analogics, great way to control what you're doing.

    The game's straight to the point, no story mode, no scoreboards no nothing, just skating freely which honestly is refreshing in this genre however I would say it's ESSENTIAL to add a multiplayer mode where you can skate around with your friends in order for the gameplay not to turn repetitive after a    Love the foot mechanics with the analogics, great way to control what you're doing.

    Customizing your character lacks in facial and body options but makes up for it in stylish clothes and boards.
    To add to it, you can download modded clothes, maps and boards made by the community but unfortunately the game still feels overpriced for the content it has at the moment.    … Expand

    This is a hard one to rate for me, because I have come to love it through mods and other means. The game itself is quite bad and unpolished, but with mods you get a very realistic skate simulator that I have been wanting for years. This will more than likely be my skateboarding game until Skate 4 comes out.

    If there's one thing Skater XL excels at, it's that it has a great foundation that shows Easy Day Studios knows how to make quality skateboarding mechanics. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience isn't quite there yet. The uninspired levels, barebones features, and overall unfinished-feeling state makes its 1.0 release look like it's still in Early Access. Its trick system deserves more, and with time, it could grow into a great experience. As it is now, Skater XL lacks spots worth conquering and fails to entice past this initial bail.

    There’s way too little content in Skater XL and a lot of missing things like NPCs which make it seem like the game never got out of early-access. Playing it, however, feels great. Let’s just hope that the developers update the game with a lot more stuff than it currently has.

    Skater XL is, simply put, an unfinished product. It's a Skateboarding Simulation Game without the game. A barebones five developer-created maps and three user-created maps have no path, purpose or direction with just a handful of 'challenges' that are identical to tutorials. The skateboarding itself is great, the tricks satisfying to perform and a joy to pull off, particularly due to the control scheme. Will you enjoy it? Possibly, if you're happy making your own fun and you like skateboarding. If you expect a video game, you're going to be sorely disappointed.
